There is so much to enjoy here - another fabulous collection! Essential for every bookshelf.This collection is truly a testament to the playfulness,silliness and hilarity of the written word. Seigal's trademark wit,creative wordplay and rhyming schemes are sure to delight readers!Joshua's great command of rhythm and his ability to find just the right word is clear on each page. Highly entertaining,snippets of fun,emotion and wit.As ever Joshua Seigal proves witty,wise,empathic,funny and a great juggler of words. In his hands they move around so quickly and so smoothly you don't know exactly where they're going to land until their already lodged in your brain. More great stuff.If...you still think,'I don't like poetry,'this might be the collection for you: Joshua Seigal's very imaginative and wonderful collection.Joshua Seigal is a rising star in the children's poetry world and this new collection of his poems will be a real crowd-pleaser.Joshua Seigal is definitely my new favourite poet.Reluctant readers and poetry pros alike will find plenty to enjoy in Seigal's trademark outpouring of wit,wordplay and wackiness... this is a great collection of genuinely funny poems and they're refreshingly original for older primary kids,reflecting their lives and interests.The poems are so playful,gleefully heading off in unexpected directions,and so full of surprises,that it sometimes feels that it's only the rhythm and the rhyme that is holding them on the page.The wordplay and humour are spot on for primary school children,including lots of puns,enabling them to feel that poetry is something for them.It's definitely one to add to your bookshelf,whether you're teaching poetry or just keen to see your class laugh out loud.
